so,
i get this rtf cub from flysone that got more weights added to it than an ocean liner anchor (nose had three ounces, tail two, wings when opened up had all kinds od strange debris that could only be intended to be balance. ) i did fly it few times but never did get it to trim right. i decided to convert it with an old radian glider wing that i added by splicing the cub cente section and installed a thermos botle liner as the nose. looks like a turbo cub now. see the link of my first flight. i used the same balancing points as the cub came with. didnt need to do much re arranging of the esc, battery, except that i lengthened the leads of the esc so that it was in the cockpit. flys like a cub and a glider. put a folding prop on it also.

da!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK. So ya got 3oz in front & 2oz in back. That don't compute!!!!! Either put the weight in front or in back, NOT both. Most of the RTF planes are not power houses so ya need to keep the weight to a minimum. It sounds ot me like maybe you'll need an ounce or so in the nose ( it's according were in the nose you put it.) It can make a BIG difference between the firewall & the front of the cowl. Just take your time.

hi,

thanks 4 your input. i already cut the front of the cub off and installed a thermos bottle liner as the cowl. see my wed vid.

thanks
